Nope... don't try to down play it. You can't hold people accountable for their tongues when you can't control yours.
Everyone on the board knows your tone. It's repetitive, belittling, crass, and worse. Everyone has read something inappropriate that you have said and will continue to spew. You are the last person who should be calling for someone's job based on their speech.
I have said things that I am not proud of. I will gladly apologize and I think my tone has cleaned up over the last few years. You seem to want to justify or spin it. You say that DL needs to apologize for his comments and step down while you have the freedom to say whatever filth comes to your mind with no apologies or consequences. I am done here. I'm embarrassed for you.
